An introduction to stance and footwork in sword fighting (HEMA)

This is a demonstration by two instructors of the Blood & Iron historical martial arts school, Nicole Smith (also co-founder of B&I) and Sean Franklin. Both have won multiple medals in HEMA tournaments.

For those who don't know, HEMA stands for Historical European Martial Arts and is about the study of techniques and strategies from Medieval and Renaissance fencing manuals.
